Returning to the Night of Conflict for the second straight year will be New Hampton’s Michael Millage taking on a top five ranked wrestler from one of the nation’s top high school programs, Malcolm Robinson of Blair Academy. Ranked #4 in the nation at 138 pounds and committed to Rutgers, Robinson marks the second time Millage will face a top five opponent at the event. A year ago Millage bumped up a weight to take on Illinois prep Jason Renteria and they put on a show racking up 30 total points. Renteria would take the match 19-11.

This will be a meeting between two top 20 ranked wrestlers, as Millage has climbed into the rankings (#20) with a strong regular season as a junior, winning the 2A 126-pound state title over Solon’s Drew West. From there, Millage packed on some weight, moving up to 138 pounds where he earned his first Fargo All-American finish taking sixth in freestyle. Millage recently committed to the University of Northern Iowa where he is projected at 141 pounds for the Panthers.

Aside from the fact that Robinson competes for one of the nation’s most prestigious private schools, he has also put in top finishes at some of the toughest folkstyle tournaments in the country. This past season includes a third place finish at the Walsh Ironman and winning the Beast of the East. The Night of Conflict does utilize a pushout rule in addition to the regular high school rules, but Robinson isn’t lacking in freestyle credentials, taking third at the Cadet Freestyle National tournament a year ago.
